2012 HYUNDAI VELOSTER Complaints

I WAS DRIVING HOME THEN STARTED HEARING A KNOCKING NOISE COMING FROM THE ENGINE. THAT'S WHEN I FELT MY CAR TO LOSE POWER AND START TO DECELERATE. ONCE IT STOPPED IT SHUT OFF , AND ALL OF MY LIGHT ON MY DASH BOARD WAS ON. THE BATTERY LIGHT, OIL LIGHT, EPS LIGHT. I WENT TO OPEN THE HOOD AND IT SMELT LIKE SOMETHING WAS BURNING. AFTER ABOUT AN HOUR OF WAITING THE ENGINE STILL WASN'T TURNING OVER. I LEFT MY CAR ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AT AN APARTMENT COMPLEX.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 HYUNDAI VELOSTER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT A CLICKING NOISE COMING FROM THE STEERING WHEEL OCCURRED WHILE DRIVING. IN ADDITION, THE CONTACT STATED THAT THERE WAS ALSO A LOT OF MOVEMENT IN THE STEERING. THERE WAS NO WARNING INDICATOR LIGHTS ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO KEY HYUNDAI DEALER, LOCATED AT 4660 SOUTHSIDE BLVD #100, JACKSONVILLE, FL 32216, (904) 642-6060 , WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE MDPS COUPLER REPLACEMENT FOR NOISE ON STEERING COLUMN NEEDED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED DUE TO THE REPAIRED FEES. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE BUT DID NOT OFFER FURTHER ASSISTANCE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 56,000.

THIS IS FROM A HYUNDAI TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETIN NUMBER 17-ST-001 DATED FROM FEBRUARY 2017. ITFS FOR A MOTOR DRIVEN POWER STEERING (MDPS) COUPLING REPLACEMENT. IT MAKES A TERRIBLE AND VERY LOUD THUD SOUND ON EVERY LITTLE BUMP OR HOLE ON THE ROAD AND YOU CANFT EVEN TALK TO EACH OTHER IN THE CAR ITFS SO LOUD. THIS IS ALSO HAPPENING ON THE ELANTRA GT, SANTA FE, ELANTRA COUPE AND AZERI MODELS. THE OP CODE IS 56300F25. CASUAL PART #56315-2K000-FFF. NATURE CODE D61 CAUSE CODE ZZ4

MY CAR HAS CODE OF P0420 CATALYST SYSTEM EFFICIENCY BELOW THRESHOLD. THE MECHANIC I HAVE HAD LOOK INTO THE CAUSE HAS SUGGESTED REPLACING THE EXHAUST MANIFOLD CATALYTIC CONVERTER ASSEMBLY DUE TO CATALYTIC CONVERTER FAILURE. IT'S A 2012 HYUNDAI VELOSTER 1.6 LITER NON-TURBO, THE SAME ENGINE THAT IS INCLUDED IN ONE OF THE LARGEST RECALLS ON YOUR SITE. MY VEHICLE THOUGH IS NOT INCLUDED AND I FEEL IT PROBABLY SHOULD BE DUE TO HAVING CATALYTIC CONVERTER FAILURE, LIKELY DUE TO DESIGN FLAW IF OTHERS ARE HAVING SIMILAR FAILURES.

WHILE PARKED, CAR STARTS HARD THEN WILL NOT SHIFT, DESPITE THE DASH SAYING IT'S IN DRIVE. HAVE TO SHUT OFF, WAIT, THEN RESTART. AT STOP SIGNS, CAR WILL STALL THEN NOT RESTART. ONCE RESTARTED, CAR WILL NOT SHIFT. NEED TO SHUT OFF THEN RESTART REPEATEDLY UNTIL IT SHIFTS. WHILE IN MOTION GOING STRAIGHT ON THE HIGHWAY, CAR WILL ACT AS IF IT'S LOST ENGINE POWER AND THEN STALL COMPLETELY. AGAIN, CAR WILL NOT START, AND ONCE IT STARTS IT WILL NOT SHIFT. AGAIN REPEAT THE TURN ON/OFF PROCESS UNTIL IT SHIFTS. HAS HAPPENED MORE AND MORE FREQUENTLY BUT DEALER CANNOT GIVE ME AN ANSWER. THIS CAR IS VERY UNSAFE TO ME AND OTHERS ON THE ROAD WITH IT'S UNPREDICTABILITY.

COMPLETE CAR FIRE. I WAS DRIVING ON THE FREE WAY GOING BETWEEN 70 AND 75MPH AND I WENT TO CHANGE LANES AND WHEN I LOOKED BACK IN THE REARVIEW MIRROR ALL I SEE IS SMOKE SO I PULL OFF THE FREEWAY ONTO THE SHOULDER AND I SEE A FLAME FROM UNDER THE HOOD. SO I POP THE HOOD LATCH AND I OPEN IT AND THERE WAS A FIRE COMING FROM THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT. SO I SHUT THE HOOD AND GO AND GRAB NECESSITIES OUT FROM THE VEHICLE AND WAIT FOR THE FIRE DEPARTMENT TO SHOW UP AND PUT OUT THE CAR. WELL WHEN THEY SHOWED UP, THEY WERE NOT ABLE TO SALVAGE ANY USABLE PART OF THE VEHICLE. AGAIN I WAS ON THE FREEWAY/HIGHWAY TRAVELING BETWEEN 70MPH AND 75 MPH

MY CAR IS HAVING ISSUES DESCRIBING WHAT IS HAPPENING IN THE RECALL, THE ENGINE IS LOUDER THAN WHEN I GO OUT IT SOUNDS LIKE YOU'RE KNOCKING NOISE AND I JUST GOT IT IN SEPTEMBER. I NEED TO SPEAK WITH SOMEBODY ABOUT THIS SINCE IT'S NOT LISTED ON THE RECALL

ON FEBRUARY 22, 2019 AT 6:51PM I WENT TO MY CAR TO RETRIEVE SOME PERSONAL BELONGINGS AND NOTICED THAT MY SUNROOF HAD COMPLETELY SHATTERED. BY THE GRACE OF GOD I WAS NOT DRIVING MY CAR NOR DID I HAVE ANY CHILDREN IN THE CAR. HYUNDAI HAS HAD MY CAR SENSE THIS INCIDENT OCCURRED AND ARE SAYING THAT THEY ARE NOT GOING TO BE PAYING FOR THE SUNROOF TO BE FIXED. THIS IS JUST ABSOLUTELY RIDICULOUS ON THEIR END. THIS IS PEOPLES LIVES THAT ARE AT STATE WHILE IN THIS CAR. UPON FURTHER INVESTIGATION I HAVE FOUND OVER 8 COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE SAME THING WITH THE SUNROOF AND EVEN AN ARTICLE WHERE A FAMILY HAD THE SUNROOF SHATTER ON THEM AS WELL AND HYUNDAI JUST SETTLED OUT OF COURT WITH THEM ON JANUARY 21,2019. HYUNDAI SHOULD BE RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY DAMAGES LIKE THESE AND ALL CAR DEALERSHIPS NEED TO TAKE THESE CARS OFF THEIR PROPERTY. SOMEONE COULD BE SEVERLY HURT OR EVEN DIE DUE TO THINGS LIKE THIS. NONE OF THIS OKAY. I DO NOT FEEL SAFE GETTING BACK INTO THIS CAR EVEN IF THE SUNROOF WAS FIXED.

WAS DRIVING AND MY CAR WOULD NOT TURN ALMOST CAUSED A SEROIUS ACCIDENT ..TOOK IT IN TO BE REPAIRED THE PLASTIC COUPLING PIECE WAS UNDER $20 AND LABOR WAS $320. MY MILIAGE IS UNDER 55,000
